On 16 August, while conducting search ops in Saint Amant, Louisiana, the U.S. Coast Guard spotted a herd of cows nonchalantly walking down the flooded main street of town:

Since 13 August, the U.S. Coast Guard has rescued more than 2-hundred people and at least 57 pets from the record level flooding in Louisiana!

Since 762mm (30 inches) of rain fell on 12 August 2016 more than 3-thousand 3-hundred Louisiana National Guard personnel are conducting rescues, security, aid and confort missions in response to the record flooding in The Pelican State.  Neighboring Mississippi has also sent state militia to help out.

How to hide your M1A2 SEP in Romania.

“This is kind of neat for our unit. This is the first time the National Guard has been asked to conduct Saber Guardian as the OpFor, and for them to call on the state of Montana it means a lot to us, it makes us proud. We take a lot of pride where we are from, and to come here and provide a legitimate challenge to the BlueFor for this mission is challenging and rewarding. We are proud for our unit and proud for our state.”-First Sergeant Mathew Kemp, Delta Company, 1/163 Infantry, Montana National Guard

Montana’s Bravo and Delta infantry companies are playing the role of Opposition Forces (OpFor, OPFOR) during Saber Guardian 2016.  The U.S.-NATO wargame concludes by 07 August 2016.

‘Combatants’ are using MILES (multiple integrated laser engagement system), it’s one of the first laser tag systems, developed by the military decades ago: “The MILES gear provides a realistic force on force training opportunity. This realistic training gives our guys an idea of what they need to work on, what skills they need to develop and what they are proficient at.”-Staff Sergeant  Joseph Thacker, Delta Company, 1/64th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division

“C-130 rolling down the strip!
Airborne Ranger gonna take a little trip!
We gonna stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door!
We gonna jump right out, and then count to four!
My main don’t open, I use my reserve!
My reserve don’t open, I loose my nerve!”-U.S. Army running cadence I used to sing during Army Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood in 1982

World War 3: Obama deploys Indiana Blacksnakes to Slovakia

Indiana Air National Guard’s 122 Fighter Wing deploys A-10 Thunderbolt 2s to Slovakia.  No, those are not ‘warthog’ art painted on their noses, they’re supposed to be snakes.  And there’s some vid of Slovakian MiG-29s.

“…..I want to kill all foreigners!” Afghanistan, 01 – 06 September 2015: Gas attack against 300 girls! Total failure of U.S. occupation! Obama secretly orders combat troop deployments!

It’s been about six months since my last Afghanistan update, and things have gone to hell in a hand basket!

“When millions of people around the world were taken aghast by the pictures of drowned three-year-old Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi lying washed up on a Turkish beach…..they should see through the fact that the United States is mainly responsible for all the mess.

The main sources of today’s refugees — Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan — are targets of U.S. intervention, which led to devastation, chaos, deteriorating domestic security and extensive displacements. People in those countries could no longer enjoy even basic human rights. Many of them had no choice but to flee for life….”-Hu Yao, Xinhua

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reports nearly $1-billion USD of U.S. taxpayer funding wasted in Afghanistan.  It’s connected to the growing refugee crisis, and “There’s so much uncertainty, especially now. There’s been so much more fighting recently, and that’s going to cause more problems.” 

The New York Times revealed that the Obama regime has given control of U.S. combat drones (UAV) to Germany and Sweden.

Balkh Province:  13 Hazara Shia civilians were pulled from their mini-bus and summarily executed.  Witnesses say the attackers were wearing Afghan National Army (ANA) uniforms.

Bamiyan Province: “We are sitting on a fortune which could create cars and planes for the world, and jobs and schools for local people.”-Mohammad Reza, one of at least 1,200 farmers mobilising a militia to stop the illegal mining of $1-trillion USD worth of minerals from their farmland

Helmand Province: British empire news reports say the Obama regime has deployed more U.S. Special Operations Forces to the former United Kingdom Camp Bastion.  Also, an unnamed U.K. security source says the ANA is now paying Afghans not to attack them!  The deployment of additional U.S. forces comes after two USAF Special Tactics airmen ( a Captain and a Staff Sergeant) were killed at Camp Antonik last week.  News reports say the U.S. personnel were killed by men wearing ANA uniforms, the attack came despite multiple U.S. airstrikes.  

Herat Province: Three separate gas attacks, over the past week, against girl’s schools reported.  At least 3-hundred girls, as well as teachers, now hospitalized!  “When I entered the classroom, there was a very strong smell. When I went home, I fell unconscious.”-Nazia

Kabul Province: “The poverty was unbelievable! I was shocked because after 10 years there seemed to have been no improvement – the road was full of kids begging; women sitting on the roads, wearing burqas. They crowd around, 10 to 15 at each car. They run alongside, saying things like ‘I haven’t eaten’ and ‘my children haven’t eaten for many days’.”-Mahboba Rawi, charity organizer describes exiting Kabul International Airport into the streets of the capital 

Kandahar Province: SIGAR discovered that U.S. taxpayers spent $2.2-million building a new Special Forces HQ, that was before the project was canceled!  

Nangarhar Province: “When I don’t smoke hashish I want to kill all foreigners!”-former ANA soldier who is now chained to a prison wall, being fed only tea, bread and black pepper! 

In the Pachir Aw Agam district, reports that Afghan Taliban attacked U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli created speed freak genocidal maniacs DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]) aka Islamic State.  At least 20 people killed and houses have been torched.  Back in June Afghan Taliban warned DAIISH against “waging a parallel insurgency in Afghanistan.”

Paktia Province:  The ANA’s 203rd Military Corps says they called in a U.S. combat UAV to kill 32 people in the Gharak area of Ahmadabad district.

In the U.S. state of Ohio, a former Sergeant First Class in the Army National Guard is now facing trial for frauding taxpayers for funeral missions he allegedly did not take part in.  He’s accused of charging taxpayers for 130 funerals he was not part of!

In the U.S. state of Wisconsin, about 100 National Guard 950th Engineer Company personnel returned from Afghanistan.

Maryland National Guard’s 1100th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group returned from Afghanistan.

The Wyoming National Guard’s Alpha battery, 2nd battalion-300th field artillery deployed to Afghanistan.
